Tuesday

Pond/Stream/fen Work Today

















Here, the big rocks are in place with the stream's course set.  Now filling in with smaller rocks, gravel and plants is the next step -- and the fun step -- without the backbreaking job of moving these huge boulders.

















Josh, Dan & Brad working the liner.


















Brad and Dan moving smaller rocks, with Fran looking on, after the two big ones are in place.






















Looking from the pond up under the stream.  The two big boulders were put into place by Dan, Josh and Brad this morning.


















Fran working the edges of the pond.  The raked soil area is actually a fen (we've been incorrectly calling it a wetland) that will be flooded during the hard rains of winter from time-to-time.  The rain last night left the pond only a few inches from the top.  The next heavy rain will put it over the top and into the fen.
